Fun day out

I took my kids to a little farm today. It was a lot of fun, there were goats to feed, apple cider and donuts and a lot of activities to do.

    

The first thing we did when we got there was to feed the goats. There was a little machine to put quarters in and goat feed came out. My Aunt Mary brought us there and she brought quarters for the kids. The kids loved it



They did not want to leave this area, they have been house bound a lot because of mid terms at school for me. I think they were so happy to be outside doing something different.



Finally we convinced them to head over to the main building where we got some home made donuts and some apple juice. Then we headed over to where the bunnies were. The bunnies were hiding, too many kids grabbing them. I have not always been a social person especially with my kids. So it took me a little to warm up to being around so many other people.

After snacking we headed over to a giant slide. As soon as they saw it their eyes lit up. That was another thing that they wanted to stay at all day.



Julian was ready to jump in. Emily is still not quite ready to jump in without any thought  She would only go feet first on her belly.











There were so many things to do there and yet Emily's favorite thing was to play in a corn house. It was a little shack that had a floor covered in corn. There were little digging and other sand type tools to scoop up the corn and dump it. Emily would have been happy to stay there all day.

Eventually we made it out to the hay stack where there was a little walk through for the kids. Julian just ran right through it. Emily however was not so eager to just run into a dark hay hallway. The stacks were pretty high, up to the tops of the kids head. But Julian insisted on climbing up himself. He is so independent now.

 Right next to the has stack were water pumps. The kids pumped water to watch it run down a pipe carrying a little ducky. My kids love water. Anything that has water in it, made of water, or water they get get into. So they sat there pumping away. Julian worked so hard as though it were his job and damn it he was going
to do it right.

There was a pumpkin patch also. The kids were not as interested here. They did like all the pumpkins and kept trying to pick them up, but by this time they were pretty tired as was I. Thank goodness my aunt was there I don't know what I would have done. After this we all ready to go.

There was these little "horses" near the entrance and so we told the kids were were going to ride the horses. The kids did not want to leave but what three year old wants to go home after a day of fun.


We had a great time. My Aunt took us out, if it wasn't for her I am not sure what we would have done. It would have probably been another boring Saturday. My kids are just getting bigger and bigger. I loved my babies so much  I miss them all the time. But I always looked forward to the time when I could take the kids to do things and we could have fun together.

This is a great time, where they can tell me what they want and what they enjoy. I knew that Emily wanted to stay in the corn house and and I knew that Julian liked the slide. I wish I had not been so tired by the time we got to the pumpkin patch so I could have had more fun with them there but all in all we had a good time.
